And in theory there will be no passing at all if everyone drives as they should and grids properly.
Or, in my case being in Florida, the FR-S doesn't pass the 911 GT3s (average car in adv) anyways so it doesn't matter where I grid - I'll almost never find slower traffic. With 3 hours a day of track time I never hurry to the grid anymore anyways. I'm too old for that shit.
